Help with Pokéball course?

I sent a request for access as the share access is set to restricted.

You can change it to ‘Anyone with the link’ to allow direct access.

Should be shared now, I think.

Got it!

There is no issue with the extrusion in this file, do you have another previously saved file with the issue?

The issue with the Boolean is with the Boolean object, hinge_top.001

When the Boolean cuts out the desired area it creates new vertices. As we are using a non destructive workflow by not applying the modifiers, this is done under the hood and you can’t see the vertices in edit mode.

Scaling the hinge_top.001 mesh in the X axis in edit mode fixes the issue. If you do this slowly you will see how the Bevel grows because the vertices created by the Boolean move further from the original vertices of the hinge_bottom object.

No, this is the file that I had issues with (I can’t find an older version, maybe I saved over it). I also changed between exact and fast solver to try to fix it, so that might have changed the model a few times, sorry I can’t remember.

But am I understanding you correctly that the problem was that the boolean was too small? Cause like you said, when I scale it on the x-axis the problem goes away.. So it was that simple!? 🙂

1. Not scaled.

2. Scaled on x-axis.

[Adrian Bellworthy]

Yeah!
For the Boolean to work correctly, the cutter object needs to exceed the size of the mesh of the bottom hinge.

It’s just like punching a hole in the wall, you want it to go all the way through.

Haha, great! Thanks for the help, guys 🙂
